Paris, France – It’s on a bright, warm and truly beautiful Sunday morning where Lanvin decided to invite us all to the AccorHôtels Arena at Bercy for the presentation of its new men’s collection for Spring/Summer 2018. The morning was hot and dry. Thank goodness we were greeted with freshly brewed ice tea (sugar-free of course) and breakfast biscuits.

As this previous men’s collection was bit lackluster, we really needed to see sparks fly on this particular morning. Something was definitely amiss in the previous collection. It did not captivate us in the way that house has accustomed us to being over the past decade or more… Now we fast six months to the presentation of the new collection. Here we find that the inspiration is back as the house seems to skilfully hit every note just right.

The Spring/Summer 2018 collection features comfortable volumes, desirable fabrics and silhouettes that are easy to understand and to appreciate. Each silhouette percolates with the raw vibe and youthful energy. More than that, they make us all want to break the looks apart and to take as many pieces home with us. Among them are the jumpsuits, which have been made for the urbanite. He wants to look good in masculine clothes, yet without the burden of having to pontificate over what will make him look good. The variety of colors, prints, motifs and other embellishments provide one with diverse options. The ample cuts are in line with the new standards of luxury comfort in the sense that they grant great levels of movement.

The looks are all styled to perfection with the plethora of hats, two-tone shoes, belts, outerwear, backpacks, etc. However it is the rectangular, breadbox-like bags that make us wonder about the occasions to whip them out. Yet now that we’ve seen these latter at Lanvin, it won’t be long before we see them copied and sold in every mid to large city on the planet.
